Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReid Sox-harris is an electrical designer with nine years of hands-on experience in embedded and avionic systems, currently designing hardware at Kepler Communications in Toronto. He brings a strong mix of PCB design, power systems, and test automation from roles ranging from CubeSat payload boards to S‑Band radio and 10G Ethernet interface cards. Reid led electrical design and IT for the University of Toronto Aerospace Team, building remote STM32 programming workflows and automating server backups with Ansible—evidence of his focus on reproducible, team-friendly engineering. His open-source contributions to the popular QMK keyboard firmware show a practical fluency with embedded C, custom keymaps, and low-level input device behaviors beyond traditional aerospace work. Colleagues rely on him for robust test harnesses and manufacturing tester design, and he’s as likely to riff on keyboard layouts as he is on RF link margins.
